Answer:

14 km

Step-by-step explanation:

1) look at the information you are given:

140 km total (to and from work)

Note that this number includes both the distance to work and the distance from work.

He works 5 days a week.

2)Figure out the distance he travels within one day

This means that you should take the 140 km and divide it by 5 in order to find out the amount of km he travels each day.

28 km is the amount of KM he travels each DAY.

3) Figure out the distance from work to home

From this point, it is important to note the question is asking for the distance his work is from home.

Each day, he must travel 2 times: he must go to work and go from work to home, which are both the same distance.

This means that in order to get only the distance from work to home, you must divide by 2.

Answer: 14km

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance covered per week= 140km

Distance covered per day = 140km/5 = 28km

Since, 28km is the distance covered by day (to and from work)

Therefore, the distance to his work from home is given as :

28km/2 = 14km

GEOMETRY- FIND POLYGON AREA

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular polygon is

$A=\frac{1}{2}ap$ where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. Perimeter is simple: just count the number of sides the polygon has and multiply it by 3 (the length of one side).

p = 3(9) is 27 inches for the perimeter.

We have what we need now to find the area:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4.1)(27)$ and

$A=\frac{1}{2}( 110.7)$ so

A = 55.35 square inches

A brick is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of 2 inches. The b

The mass of brick is 2478 gram

Solution:

A brick is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of 2 inches

Length = 8 inches

Width = 3.5 inches

Height = 2 inches

The volume of rectangular prism is given as:

$volume = length \times width \times height$

$volume = 8 \times 3.5 \times 2\\\\volume = 56$

Thus volume of brick is 56 cubic inches

Convert inches to centimeter

1 inch = 2.54 centimeter

Therefore,

56 cubic inches = 56 x 2.54 x 2.54 x 2.54 cubic centimeter

56 cubic inches = 917.676 cubic centimeter

Thus, we get,

volume = 917.676 cubic centimeter

The brick has a density of 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter

Density = 2.7 grams

The mass of brick is given by formula:

$mass = density \times volume$

Substituting the values we get,

$mass = 2.7 \times 917.676\\\\mass = 2477.724 \approx 2478$

Thus mass of brick is 2478 gram

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. 1.8 & x

Valentin [98]

Answer:

x ≈ 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin50° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{RS}{RT}$ = $\frac{x}{1.8}$ ( multiply both sides by 1.8 )
